Why Soak?

Sometimes I have to remind myself why I do the things I do...

If you eat substantial quantities of raw pecans, walnuts, Brazil nuts, filberts or others, you have a choice of swallowing enzyme capsules (available through us so send an email if you want to know more about Loomis Enzymes) with them to neutralize their enzyme inhibitors or first germinating the nuts and letting nature do the job through increased enzyme activity resulting from germination.

Almost anyone can eat several nuts without feeling any effect but it is common knowledge that nuts are heavy on the stomach if consumed in substantial quantity. So what is substantial quantity? I don't know but I think at least one serving a day would be a good addition to your diet as you take baby steps towards a more natural basic diet. So why not germinate those tasty raw nuts?? It's not that hard.

I throw the nuts in a bowl of filtered water, sprinkle the water with sea salt and let them sit out overnight. The next day I drain and rinse (especially the pecans and walnuts because I don't like the skin stuff that stays on them otherwise) and I either dehydrate them or pop them on cookie sheets in the oven on no more than 150 degrees.

Nuts do not go rancid easily and once prepared may be stored for many months at room temperature in an airtight container. However, walnuts are more susceptible to rancidity so store those treasures in the refrigerator!

So now I remember, it has to do with the enzyme inhibitors....

There is also a Children's Health Study for more info on it go to www.childrenshealthstudy.com But here's a little about it:

What is the Children's Health Study?

Established in 1999, the international Children's Health Study is a large-scale, multi-year survey designed to formally document the positive effects Juice Plus+® has on the health and well-being of families who take it.

The study is based on three important concepts:

1. Good nutrition is the foundation of health and inspires other healthy lifestyle choices.
2. The best time to establish good health and nutritional habits is in childhood.
3. The key to getting children to adopt good health habits is parental involvement.

How does it work?

The way the Children's Health Study works is simple. For every parent, grandparent, or other adult that signs up as a Juice Plus+® customer, the study provides Juice Plus+® Orchard Blend and Juice Plus+® Garden Blend free to a child, teenager, or college student for up to three years. At various intervals — after 4-8 months and then at the end of each year — adult participants are asked to fill out a voluntary survey to determine whether (and how) their families' health habits have changed as a result of taking Juice Plus+®.

Happy Eating! ;-P

‎"Develop a gym routine. Try to go at least three times a week. Do a mix of strength training and cardiovascular conditioning. After the third week, stop carrying around that satchel of fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies."

If you don't belong to a gym, then start out with a routine at home. The fitness trend over the last 5 years has been using less equipment anyway. Stay tuned for an extremely simple beginner's home exercise routine that requires nothing but yourself and the floor.

Did You Know....

dogs have chiropractors?! (completely copied from the Sam's Club mag that came today)

The American Veterinary Chiropractic Association certifies animal chiropractors who treat skeletal alignment skeletal alignment (yes, it was printed twice in the article) problems in not just dogs, but also in horses, cats, pigs, sheep and even reptiles. There are more than a thousand AVCA-certified professionals practicing in the U.S. That lends new meaning to the term "animal cracker"!

I had to post this!! Animal crackers!! bawhahaha

Baby Steps

Why take on the full marathon when you can take baby steps that don't hurt so much? I think if you go full force towards those marathon goals you will burn out quickly and revert to your old ways....so take baby steps peeps!

The whole marathon picture is eat healthy, drink water, exercise, get proper rest, take off 100 pounds.

The baby step picture is add more water to your routine this week, as you clean out the refrigerator and cupboards to make room for healthy foods!

Next week add 3 days of exercise while drinking your water and buying healthy foods for the refrigerator and cupboards.

The following week keep up with the healthy eating, drinking more water, and exercise but add proper rest in there.

I think you get the picture, don't overwhelm yourself with the full force marathon, take those baby steps, set those long term goals and short term goals and work towards meeting them.

Here's to a healthier 2012 for you and me! ;-)
